# Research Interview Conduct a structured interview to help formalize a research idea into a concrete specification. **Input:** `$ARGUMENTS` — a brief topic description or "start fresh" for an open-ended exploration. --- ## How This Works This is a **conversational** skill. Instead of producing a report immediately, you conduct an interview by asking questions one at a time, probing deeper based on answers, and building toward a structured research specification. **Do NOT use AskUserQuestion.** Ask questions directly in your text responses, one or two at a time. Wait for the user to respond before continuing. --- ## Interview Structure ### Phase 1: The Big Picture (1-2 questions) - "What phenomenon or puzzle are you trying to understand?" - "Why does this matter? Who should care about the answer?" ### Phase 2: Theoretical Motivation (1-2 questions) - "What's your intuition for why X happens / what drives Y?" - "What would standard theory predict? Do you expect something different?" ### Phase 3: Data and Setting (1-2 questions) - "What data do you have access to, or what data would you ideally want?" - "Is there a specific context, time period, or institutional setting you're focuse

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill interview-me-alohays-paper2pr --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
